    TRUST THE HELMSMAN.
If It s*cms but a stubborn old world
That won't bo reformed in a day,
Don't fall to lamenting that all things ire wrong
And refuse to be righted your way;
Just guide your own course by the truth,
As the truth seems apparent to you,
And when in snug harbor you anchor at last
You may find all the others there too.
There's many a ship on the sea,
And all by the same tempests blown,
But one ship can't steer by unother ship's helm;
It has to be steered by its own.
They'll answer a cull of distress
And help till the danger is past,
But on its own compass each ship must rely
To reach the home haven at last.

"A rascal more or loss of those scamps
won't count. Try some of these pheas
nuts, your honor. Thoy were sent me by
a friend, a trusted old friend. Yes, as I
wns saying, a rascal more or less." And
the speaker, a broad shouldered, blond
boarded man in uniform, launched forth
into a tirade against the Arabs that from
any other man would have brought down
swift vengeance from these hardy sons ol
Algeria. Rut Vandier's cheery smile and
kindly sympathy for the very men ho
was engaged in execrating were prover
bial beneath the white tents that dotted
the sandy plains around us.
We, the judge of El A/.creg and I, the
military doctor, were seated at Vandier's
table. In spite of the disparity of oui
positions—Vnndier bad risen from the
ranks to a sergeantcy—we loved him for
his geniality, devotion to his duly and,
above all, to his family, for whom he.
lived, breathed and thought.
No, decidedly our good friend was ex
empt from the risk other men had incur
red. Rut what did worry me was his
perpetual and incurable fondness for
winging anything feathered that came
within gunshot, despite the stringent laws
that forbade sueli sport and the dan
ger he, as guardian of these same laws,
ran when he infringed upon them.
I wondered silently whether the judge
was deceived by this excuse of an old
friend, and as I glanced at the sweet
faced little wife and her two bonny chil
dren I resolved to repeat my warnings to
Vandier at the lirst opportunity. Alas,
fate willed it otherwise!
The day after our pleasant little visit
1 was returning from a long and some
what cheerless journey into the desert,
whither I had been summoned to relieve
a suffering Arab, when I was stopped by
a crowd of people, headed by my friend.
Gnrieti, the judge.
"Quick, doctor," he cried. "I am off to
El Azorcg. Vandier has been assassi
nated!"
"Dead?" I repented, chilled to the;
heart.
"No; hut a pistol shot in the groin. He
is in great danger."
Mechanically I wheeled my horse's
head in the opposite direction and gal
loped rapidly along beside -Garien, who
informed me_that the police were al
ready on the spot.
The minutes grew Into hours in my dis
torted fancy; I hoped my colleague had
been summoned in my absence for I felt
myself too excited to handle my patient
with the calm deliberation so necessary
to a physician. Rut, then, would he be
still living when we arrived?
"Oh," cried the village smith as we
dashed into El Azereg, "he is alive and
the murderer has been caught. Justice,
justice, your honor."
We entered the house hurriedly. As
I had hoped, my colleague had preceded
nie. Vandier, his face tensely drawn with
the agony (J his wound, lay among the
white sheets that were spotted by a few
drops of blood. Mine. Vandier knelt sob
bing beside biin. The doctor straightened
as he saw us.
"lie still lives. You will have time to
take his deposition."
Vandier opened his eyes with a groan.
"Oh!" he whispered, "it's nil over with
nie. Watch over Marie and my little
ones. The government must provide for
them now. Don't abandon them."
1 could not answer; my grief tugged at
my throat, and I nodded sorrowfully.
Again the doctor spoke:
"To save his strength I will repent the
story of his mishap. Listen carefully,
Vandier, so that you can sign the declara
tion when it is finished." Vandier nod
ded, and his face set in more dolorous
lines than before.
"Vandier was shot at very short range;
just how I cannot say, as it is impossible
to search the wound—some Arab con
trivance, loaded with stones perhaps.
The murderer is a well known rascal,
Chenefi Omar Alidelknder, living yonder
at Mnhoudi. lie has just been arrested.
Vandier was returning from the farm of ;
Pftvanni in bis runabout. He was alone,
armed as usual with his gun and car
tridge holt, both carelessly thrown under
the seat. Everything seemed ns usual
until lie approached El Azereg, when this
blackguard sprang upon him from some j
hushes at the roadside and without a
word shot at him. Vandier, though grave
ly wounded, reached for his gun: the trig
ger caught and the gun went off, the bul
let passing through the flooring of the
carriage. This accident gave the assas
sin time to escape in the brush, but not
before the victim had recognized him as a
scamp who had just been imprisoned for
six months for theft. Then, by a su
preme effort of Ills will, he managed to
drive into the village."
Poor Vandier! He had, then, fallen n
victim to his hasty words. During the
narrative his pallor had increased, and
ns the judge glanced up, expectantly
nwaiting his affirmation of the details,
ho opened his eyes with an expression of
anguish I have never before or since,
thank God. seen on any face.
"Well. Vandier, as you hope for im
mortal salvation. Is this the truth?"
"Just an Instant," interrupted my col
league.
"Did the Arab shoot from the right
or the left side?"
"Left."
"Strange," murmured his interlocutor.
"We must Investigate this. The wngoh
is very high."
Wo filed out to inspect the wagon, and
when we returned convinced that a very
tall man could have accomplished the
deed the Invalid took the oath, and we
turned from the painful farewell scene
between husband and wife.
Outside the crowd surged and shouted
for justice, for Vandier wns a universal
favorite. Had it not been for the pres
ence of the guards the culprit would un
doubtedly have been torn limb from limb.
He sat there impassible, his sinister face
the embodiment of evil, awaiting the mo
ment of identification.
At last my colleague summoned us.
"Fetch the Arab, or it will be too late."
Vandier opened his eyes as we entered
with our prisoner, then closed them with
u shudder.
"Vandier, is this the man?"
The sergeant's features wore convulsed
by some mental struggle, and his threat
ening words against the Arab rang in
my ears, why I could not tell.
Then, with an expression of pity, al
most penitent remorse, he murmured;
"It is."
Noble soul, true hearted Vandier griev
ed that his murderer should suffer the
penalty of his crime.
Rut Oinar cast himself beside the dy
ing man and cried, with a refinement ol
hypocritical sincerity:
"In Allah's name, I have never injured
this man!"
And before we could prevent him lie
had kissed Vandier's hand with passion
ate devotion.
The excitement overwhelmed the inva
lid, his breath came in gasps, his eyes
closed, and then followed an ominous si
lence.
The following days we devoted to care
ful investigation of the facts. Needless
investigation to 1113' mind, convinced as 1
was of Vandier's absolute loyalty. As
Impartial judge, however, I pretended
the absolute necessity of investigating
the prisoner's unswerving asseveration?
of innocence, and my colleague, for some
reason unknown to me, hut based, ho told
us, uiion pathological reasons, supported
him.
Our researches, however, confirmed nil
the details of Vandier's story. That
Omar's friends and relatives swore he
had not been absent from his tent at the
hour specified we did not heed, for the
Arabs would naturally seek to protect
their kinsman.
One thing,, however, impressed 11s ns
strange. The terrible hemorrhage that
must have followed had not stained the
bottom of the runabout, and yet the
ground where the attack was made had
been flooded a deep crimson.
"It dropped through the cracks," I as
serted, when Garien mentioned the im
probability of the wounded man having
climbed from the wagon in pursuit of the
villain.
"Rut in that case we would find traces
of it all along the road."
I left the judge in anger at his implied
doubt of Vandier's veracity. Our Arab
maintained an attitude of dignified res
ignation. Allah would not desert his
child until his innocence had been prov
ed!
Early in the morning of the day ap
pointed for the man's conviction Garien
came to me with something clasped tight
ly in his left hand.
"What do you make of that?" he ask
ed, extending a bullet of the caliber used
by Vandier instead of the Arab, and in
the place of the rags they use, a hit of
wood. "Why, wood; rather superfluous
in a wound it seems to nie."
"Where did you get them?" I asked,
vaguely disconcerted by the occurrence.
"Your collengue brought thorn to me
after the autopsy," replied Garien, be
tween his teeth. "Come, let us examine
the wagonette again."
We went out together, I still seeking
an explanation to this undefined accusa
tion against my departed friend.
Garien quietly fitted the splinters into
the small hole in the bottom of the run
about. Not a morsel was missing. Van
dier himself had explained this hole by
the accidental discharge of his gun.
"There," said he at last. I could not
believe my eyes.
"Impossible!" I cried. "Tlioy are not
the same color as the wagon."
The judge gravely scraped away the
blood 011 the splinters. The bright yel
low that Vandier had used to stain his
wagonette gleamed beneath tl somber
bloodstain.
"I—l don't understand," I stammered.
The judge looked at nie; then lie suid:
"You know Vandier hunted, or, rather,
pom-lied?" he said coldly.
I nodded.
"Well, ho shot himself, and Omar is in
nocent. It is all quite clear. Returning
that morning; he discovered one of the
pheasants his trusted friend was so fond
of sending him. Dismounting he started
to pull out his guri, but the trigger
caught, discharging the bullet, which
lodged in his groin." Garien illustrated
just how this had happened. "Ry a
marvelous effort of love and devotion,
Vandier, realizing what the consequences
for his family would be if the true cause
were known, forced bis way back into
the runabout and drove home with his
carefully planned tale. For one of Van
dier's frank, honest nature the stupen
dous deceit with which he dared face his
Maker, from sheer love for his wife,
amounted to a real heroism. It is superb
and abominable. And to think that a
man's life should depend upou such a
chance!"
We entered the little courtroom where
our prisoner was already seated.
"You are free," said Garien, "to return
to your home."
The Arab answered simply:
"Allah be praised. May he watch over
you for long days to come."
Then, with the easy grace of a man
who feels his innocence proved in the
face of doubt, he added:
"The tongue of the witness is a serpent
who drinks of lies, but innocence is re
flected in the eyes of a just man."
"That is sometimes a truth and some
times an error," murmured Garien, as
we watched the Arab wending bis way
along the sunlit road.

to grow skeptical. Rut here at Bungala

"Why," said they to one of our boys,
"do you interfere with us? We don't
trouble you when you kill your goats.
We buy our nyama (meat) and kill it.
It is not your affair." From this point
on the evidences of cannibalism were
continually recurring, though the reluc

The IHoiine In Antnnin.
When the autumn begins to create a
change in the momentous affairs of
dress, the blouse waists will appear
under tlie guise of black and white
silk muslin or chiffon webs, lichl.v em
broidered and laid over tinted silk lin
ings. They can be worn with any sort
of silk, satin or fine cloth skirt, and
those women who invariably foree ev
ery season have been appearing in

In heavier and more durable goods
the novelty blouses are already mak
ing a show, and a new silk, called peau
de suede, Is what they are built of. A

tan, displays interwoven spots of
brown velvet of graduated sizes, tech
nically termed the mushroom pattern,

ing and modish goods than this n wo
man will he obliged to search far and
wide.
It seems almost essential to mention
here In connection with blouses that
any maid or matron who is obliged to
conduct at once with skill and economy
the destinies of her wardrobe for the
approaching fall will do herself a good
turn by investing in a white satin skirt.
It Is to be the basis—ln fact, it has
been the basis all summer— of every
variety of Idolise. No woman who
knows the laws of clothesland mounts
her blouses, be they grave or gay of
aspect, on a black satin skirt. She
buys instead the richest ivory white
satin she can find, gives It to a good
dressmaker who will cut it on hand
some lines, hut decorates it with noth
ing more than a narrow, thick fold of
satin at the foot or with three inch
wide tucks.
It is amazing what rough, steady
usage such a skirt can endure and how
with a few blouses it will answer as
the fvry backbone and cornerstone of
theater toilets, dinner dresses, at home
costumes and at a pinch for a hall
gown. Now, important as it is to dwell
on the merits of tlie white satin skirt,
just so important is it to caution every
woman against its black satin fellow.

SEEDLESS ORANGES.
Tholr Introdnptlon In America Dne
to a Woman.
The introduction into the United
.'States of the seedless orange, the cul
ture of which has assumed such large
proportions 011 the Pacific coast, was
primarily due to an American woman.
Traveling in the province of Buhia,
Brazil, in 1800, she incidentally men
tioned in a letter to a friend in the
United States, Horace Capron, then
commissioner of agriculture, that the
oranges of Balila were of superior
quality to those raised in the United
States. No chance expression of taste
probably ever was fraught with more
magnificent results. Mr. William Saun
ders, then as now in charge of the
gardens and grounds of the depart
ment of agriculture, had already de
voted some attention to the improve
ment of orange culture in the United
States and had introduced a few new
varieties from foreign countries. This
letter, being brought to his attention,
suggested the possibility of a new find
in the field of orange culture. A re
quest was sent for specimens for prop
agating purposes. A box of cuttings
from trees was returned, which unfor
tunately proved worthless. A specific
order was then forwarded for plants,
and in 1870 a small shipment of 12
young trees, all of the same variety
and well packed in wet moss and clay,
arrived in Washington in fairly good
condition. This was the original stock
from which have sprung all the far
famed orange groves producing what is
commercially known as the "Riverside
navel (or seedless) orange" of southern
California. All of the 12 plants were
planted in tile department grounds and
thrived. At the proper time buds from
these 12 trees were grafted upon small
orange plants then under cultivation at
tlie department and the process of
propagation repeated at proper inter
vals. As the supply increased hundreds
of the young plants were distributed
through Florida and California, at first
under the name of the "Bnhia orange,"
afterward as the "Washington navel."
For some undiscovered reason condi
tions in Florida proved unfavorable to
the productiveness of the trees, but the
development and success of their cul
ture in California constitute a subject
of unusual interest.
Ancient Sundials.
It Is probable that the earliest sun
dial was simply the spear of some no
mad chief stuck upright in the ground
before his tent, says E. W. Maunder in
Knowledge. Among those desert wan
derers, keen to observe their surround
ings, It would not be a difficult thing to
notice that the shadow shortened as
the sun rose higher in the sky und that
tlie shortened shadow always pointed
in the same direction—north. The rec
ognition would have followed very
soon that this noonday shadow chang
ed in its length from day to day. A six
foot spear would give a shadow at
noonday in latitude 40 degrees of 12
feet at one time of tlie year, of less
than two feet at another. This instru
ment, so simple, so easily carried, so
easily set up, may well have begun the
scientific study of astronomy, for it
lent itself to measurement, and science
is measurement, and probably we see it
expressed in permanent form In the
obelisks of Egyptian solar temples,
though these 110 doubt were retained
merely us solar emblems ages after
their use as actual instruments of ob
servation had ceased. An upright stick
carefully plumbed standing on some
level surface may therefore well make
tlie first advance upon tlie natural hori
zon. A knob at the top of the stick will
be found to render tlie shadow more
easily observed.
Tlie 'l'eleu rn phnnc.
A special kind of phonograph called
the telegraphone lias been Invented by
V. Poulsen of Copenhagen.
As described by The Electrical Re
view, the invention eouslsts largely in
substituting a steel ribbon for the wax
cylinder used in the ordinary phono
graph and in magnetizing points in this
ribbon instead of marking it with a
pointed rod, as Is done 111 the case of
the wax cylinder. The oscillations of a
magnet near the ribbon when one talks
into the instrument produce a perma
nent magnetic record In the ribbon
which is given out as words when the
ribbon is afterward moved near a simi
lar magnet suitably mounted.
All additional feature is found in the
fact that the words spoken into the re
ceiver can bo recorded at a distance, at
the end of a telephone or telegraph
wire. A message arriving in one's ab
sence will be Impressed 011 the ribbon
and can be read off when one returns
, home. By arranging tlie ribbon as a
continuous band, like a band sack, a
message can be sent to a large number
of subscribers nt tlie same time, each
having a small vibrating magnet to
take the message from the telephone
wire. The steel ribbon used is about
one five-hundredth of an inch thick.
